Antoine Semenyo injury: out for 8 weeks at Man City

Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca has provided an update on the injury timeline of Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo. Semenyo came on as a late substitute in last Saturday's match against Ipswich Town but left the pitch with a knee injury.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of this week's Champions League win over AEK Athens, Maresca addressed the issue. The head coach said the other injuries were not very serious. He said Semenyo would be out for around eight weeks.

Maresca said they initially feared a more serious injury, but scans showed the situation was milder than expected. According to the head coach, the most important thing right now is the player's recovery. Semenyo is expected to return around December and to look like a new player with his energy.

During this period, Semenyo will miss the Aston Villa match on Saturday at lunchtime. Man City will also be without him for the back-to-back fixtures against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League.
